The leveling system.

First Thanks for the server and the time you spend for make it playable.
I played this game from the alpha (yes the alpha!), the release, to the end of the server, and now i'm here, it's nice to see this game back from hell.
This post is about the leveling, I read some posts on the forum from the devs about their fear that the tier 2 and 3 is going to be empty because we used the guards in rvr for level up.

Our goal is an RvR experience through T2/T3, if players opt-out, it ruins that experience for everyone else claiming it's dead. This means kneecapping grinding and powerleveling until it's such a chore to do, that hey, why not RvR instead? It's cool, fun, and hip to the game, we have cookies, and renown, and PvP, and we know all of you that are powerleveling know how to do RvR correctly so maybe help out the fresh blood?

The people who want to play this Tier (2/3) are 1) nostalgic and want to have some fun or are 2) fresh blood who discover the game, the nostaligic stay in this tiers, the fresh blood go in T4 after some days, the majority of the players base are for sure players from live server OR mmorpg veteran who know that the real game begins when you are high levels, have all your spells and want to kick some ass with your friends.
Why this tiers are empty ? The influence reward are cool but so long to get, the time to get one from a zone i can get my toons level 40/40 full ruin..and dont forget this zone have player only in prime time, no one are in T2 rvr the morning, after noon or at night, so good luck for level up.

WAR is a very good pvp oriented mmorpg, the pve on this one from the first level to the last has always been bad, the only good thing is the public quest (fast rewards and xp but need a group). Actually on your server you have a lot of work to do with the pve, (aggro range, mob which passes through walls, reseting etc), the best part of this game dont come from his PvE.
You cant say to people who want to play in T4 and dont like the pve "go grind or play in T3" !
This is why the Skaven Rat was added on live, people who know the game just want to pvp with his friends, recover the sensations from the past in RvR, not in T1 or T3 but in T4 when the real game start.

Now lets talk about the BO guard xp, i will be clear, without this method of xp a lot of my guildmates would not have play on the server, we would not have created the guild and have all the fun we have now. They dont want to grind again.. and again..with a healer or a tank, on a old mmo. The idea of killing some champions in particulary zone is good for people who want to play in T4, know the game and the mechanics of their classes, we need this possibility for leveling. I dont tell you to make a free rank 40, but the idea of leveling faster up to 30-31 is a good ideas.
The BO guard xp, was a good example of how a majority of players want to level up.

Thanks for reading me and see you in Kadrin Valley !
